Stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon with my wife and it turned into one of those perfect, simple Denver days. It was a rare 70° day in February, so the mellow vibe at the Platte Street location made it even better, super relaxed, not crowded, and just a great place to unwind. I ordered the salted watermelon lager (maybe a few others) and it was fantastic, really refreshing and a little different from my usual lineup. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and everything just felt easy and welcoming. If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to enjoy a great beer and good company, especially on a nice day, this place absolutely delivers. Definitely a 5-star afternoon.

The place offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect for any kind of weather or vibe you're after. Inside, the atmosphere is high chair tables, with plenty of space to relax, but the real treat is the outdoor area. It features long Euro-style tables, creating a communal feel that’s perfect for groups or meeting new people. They have five different beer flights, which is a fantastic way to sample their selection and find a new favorite brew. However, be aware that it can get busy, especially during peak hours, so it’s a good idea to arrive early if you want to snag a spot without waiting. Overall, it’s a fun, lively place with a great beer selection and a welcoming environment, whether you’re inside or outside. Street meter parking is $2 an hour, you can only pay for 2 hours at a time. There is an open air parking lot just up the street from it, that cost $12 for 8 hours.

Had a great time! Very large selection of craft beers, with a nice open space and even heated inside/outside seating. Big selection of games for groups and dog friendly! The staff was friendly and the location was surrounded by great shops and food, coffee, and tea spots that you were allowed to bring in (for those non-beer drinking buddies). Also a food truck immediately outside for quick bar snacks!
